The roads were shrouded in fog this morning on my commute into work. Thunderstorms are imminent ~ the brain tail beats up on me when the barometric pressure is low. It's hard for this Texas transplant to believe that it's really July, because the temperature this morning was 64 degrees. In my mind, summertime = 100+ degrees ~ some things are hard to unlearn.

I can press on ~ I have lots of packing to do ~ we are headed out on our annual family pilgrimage to the seashore. There is something about the endless thundering motion of the surf that balances me out. Maybe it's the cycle of the low and high tides or the powerful crashing of the waves onto the shore that reminds me how small I really am ~ just a speck of sand on this home we call Earth.

I hope you and your family have a wonderful time on vacation. I understand what you are saying about the shore. I love sitting on the beach. Something about being there just evens me out and I just feel nothing but peace. Have a great time lady! :)

Lacie's MRI

My Chiari Brain Tail ~ The difficulties of Chiari (pronounced key-ARE-ee) go beyond balance, as a lack of space at the base of the skull pushes the cerebellum and brain stem into the upper spinal canal, placing pressure on the spinal cord.

I have set up this blog in an attempt to keep friends and family posted as I embark on this new journey that I have been commissioned to take. Bear with me ~ along with my experiences, you will likely find some random ramblings about my latest passions, too. Here's my e-mail address if you want to drop me a line sometime: lemorrison70@gmail.com

Hope In You

Courage

Fearlessness may be a gift, but perhaps more precious is the courage acquired through endeavor, courage that comes from cultivating the habit of refusing to let fear dictate one's actions. ~ Aung San Suu Kyi

Leave Your Cares To The Sea

To Be Fully Human

To be fully human is to believe in something or someone,
to know that it's possible to face the unimaginable and
somehow put one foot in front of the other until you manage
to find your home again.
~ Oprah Winfrey

Ancient Buddhist Blessing

May no one who ever meets me have a meeting of little consequence. May the simple fact of our meeting assist in the fulfillment of their wishes. May I be a lamp in the darkness of life, a home for the homeless and a servant to the world.
